Making Products Better Through Process Management and Innovative Design

brutus_enhanced_267x400_photobycedric.jpg

The ISE Department offers degrees in industrial and systems engineering (B.S., M.S. and Ph.D.). These degrees focus on the design, operation and management of complex systems, providing students with a blend of technical, management and  human-centered design skills. (Scroll down to see "Why ISE at Ohio State", in our own students' words.)


Diverse Career Opportunities: A degree in ISE offers career opportunities in a whole host of industries:  manufacturing and production * healthcare * finance * energy systems * retail and distribution * aviation * information technology * marketing * education.


In Demand:  According to the US Department of Labor’s Occupational Outlook Handbook, there are about 22,400 openings for industrial engineers each year.  And this profession is listed as having a ‘Bright Outlook’ in O*NET Online.


High Employment Rates: Our students have exceptional employment opportunities that add further value to this degree. For the past 3 years, each year over 82% of our graduates have been hired for jobs within 3 months of graduation.
